Big names rise

() The piece of paper in Datang's hands was prepared in advance, similar to a questionnaire, the company and the artist first reached an agreement on some key issues, and then drafted a contract to formally establish the contractual relationship.

"Let me ask and you answer. If you have any questions, just ask." Datang picked up a pen and asked, "How many years do you want to sign a brokerage contract with Hulang? Generally, there are two options, 3 years or 5 years."

"Is there any specific difference between these two options besides the different years?" He Mufa asked.

"The revenue sharing ratio between the company and the artist is different between three years and five years," Datang explained. "Three years is relatively short. Be reserved. Artists can take more of the income share, which is generally applicable to already famous artists; 3 years is a long time. The company has enough time to carry out long-term planning and packaging for artists, and the investment of energy and material resources must be large. , the company’s resources will also serve the contracted artists as much as possible. At this time, the artist has to make some concessions in terms of share, and usually newcomers choose 5 years.”

"Then wouldn't this force the artist to terminate the contract with the company after five years?" He Mu asked puzzled. According to Datang, he could only come to such a conclusion.

Datang smiled slightly: "When the contract expires, the artist has the right to stay. We will never be bound by this, but of course the company does not want the star that has spent 5 years to cultivate to be picked by other companies in the end, so we still have Another incentive mechanism. So, taking the five-year contract as an example, there is one item in the contract that is roughly like this. After the end of the third year of contract performance, the company has an option to increase the artist’s share. If you really use it for 3 years Time has completed the huge leap from a small supporting role to a first-line star, then the company will inevitably increase your income share, and try to keep your people and keep your heart. On the other hand, the company has spent a lot of effort but you have achieved nothing in three years. Then the company will naturally not increase your share, and you will be allowed to stay for another two years."

"In addition," Datang continued, "if you can win an individual award at an international film festival, or be a domestic three-gold actor, then each award can increase a certain percentage of revenue, but the company will set a bottom line, Your share cannot exceed that bottom line, otherwise the company will lose money and make money, after all, an artist must invest in the operation of the company, we can accept not making money, but we can't allow it to take money."

"Xiao Muzi, did you understand this time?" Xiao Fang looked at He Mu, to be honest, he was almost fainted by Datang.

"I understand." He Mu nodded.

Xiao Fang reminded: "And you have to understand that the international awards and three-gold actor mentioned by Datang may be very small to you. To put it bluntly, this is just a big cake that you can see but can't eat. , it is very difficult to increase the revenue share by relying on this, and our company's main business is TV dramas, so it won't help you very much in terms of movies."

"I understand this." He Mu glanced at Xiao Fang gratefully. As a boss, it is very rare for him to be able to say this.

"Then what is your choice?" Datang asked.

"I'll choose 5 years." He Mu said without hesitation, the vitality of an actor's acting is very long, 30 years old is the most attractive age, and 5 years later he will only be 25 years old, still very young. Five years of freedom in exchange for the full cultivation of tigers and wolves, it is worth it!

Datang ticked the "five years" column, "The next question is the ratio of the company's income to yours. What is your ideal number? Just say it out, there is nothing embarrassing about talking about money, just raise the price and bargain." It is the norm in our industry, you only need to talk about it this time, and I will take care of it for you in the future.”

"I don't know about this, how much do other people usually have?" He Mu asked awkwardly, rubbing his head.

"Oh, I forgot that you haven't signed a brokerage contract before. It's like this. This ratio is not fixed. If there are more famous artists, it can account for [-]%, and if there are few, it will not be less than [-]%. There are more, so generally it will not exceed [-]%.”

"Then follow the rules in the circle." He Mu couldn't figure out what ratio he should propose, so he simply kicked the question back to Datang.

"That's 50%, which is not bad among newcomers." Da Tang said, even if He Mu really proposed a high ratio, he would not be able to agree to it. Asking his opinion is just to allow the two parties to reach a consensus on the details of the cooperation. And explain to him the rules in this industry, giving him [-]% of the income share is by no means oppressing him, on the contrary, it is very generous. This still depends on the relationship between Xiao Fang and his elder brother.

"Five more points." Xiao Fang interjected.

Datang noncommittally revised the portion of the paper about the sharing, and continued to the next question: "Next, I want to explain the company's responsibilities or obligations to you during the contract period, and listen carefully to whether you have any objections. During the performance of the contract, the company guarantees that every year Provide you with no less than 5 shooting opportunities. Listen clearly, it is an opportunity. You have the right to refuse. In addition, the company arranges you to participate in at least one movie and two TV series every year, and during the five-year contract period, you will be the number one male As an actor, he starred in at least four film and television dramas."

Who doesn't want to be the male number one, and who wants to be a role player in other people's plays? He Mu's heart jumped out of his chest when he heard Datang's last words. Forgive him for being so restless. I don't work hard, but I can't even get into a small role with a name, and now as long as I sign the contract, I can be the leading man at least four times in the next five years. It's so simple and such a shortcut. He seems to be within reach, the temptation is too great!

"Those numbers I mentioned above are just the minimum standards and will only be higher by then, do you agree?"

"Agree, agree." He Mu nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid that Datang would go back on his word.

"During the performance of the contract, the company will arrange at least one record for you, and the production fee will not be less than 50 yuan, so as to help you increase your popularity." Datang said again.

He Mu hurriedly waved his hands: "No, don't, my singing is terrible, so don't make me a record."

"How ugly can it be?" Datang said with a smile. He is also a musician himself, and he has mainly cooperated with singers in his management career these years. If possible, he still hopes that He Mu can develop in many ways. Popular cross-border, there are not a few actors who release records, as long as they can sing well, they don't expect to make money, but actors who release songs can increase some opportunities for commercial performances so that they can earn high performance fees.

"It's very ugly. In this way, I will sing "Ten Years", which I like very much. Listen to it..." He Mu cleared his throat and began to sing.

He Mu sang very seriously, with a lot of emotional input. No matter the expression on his face or his body movements, it can be seen that he has been intoxicated in this song. It can be heard that he has sung this song many times, and he has memorized the lyrics by heart. , but after half a minute, Xiao Fang, who was covering his ears, hurriedly called a stop. Looking at the calm Datang, Xiao Fang praised: "Datang is really powerful, I can bear this."

"I'm just so shocked that I have nothing to say," Datang shook his head helplessly, "Then let's forget about this one. Mr. Xiao, don't expect him to earn any performance fees, and concentrate on acting and filming commercials. Regarding the distribution of benefits , we have basically reached an agreement, now we can print out a draft contract, you can see if there are any problems, or consult a lawyer.”

After talking about Datang and leaving the office, Xiao Fang said with a smile: "How about it, are you full of ambition now and want to show your strengths?"

"It still feels like I'm in a dream." He Mu still has an unreal feeling, so he officially embarked on the road of acting?

"Then wake up quickly. I will treat guests tonight and call Datang. From now on, the three of us will be comrades in the trenches. We need to get in touch with each other more." Xiao Fang looked at He Mu and asked, "Your brother is so good at drinking. , how about yours, is it half as good as his?"

He Mu smiled inscrutablely: "When you came to my house five years ago, because I was underage, my father didn't let me drink with you. If I joined in back then, I would definitely be the one standing in the end."

"So arrogant, then I have to experience it." Xiao Fang said impatiently.

After Datang came in, Xiao Fang mentioned the matter of drinking, and Datang smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao doesn't need to spend time with his wife and children at night?"

"Brother Fang, you are now a father!?" He Mu was a little surprised. It is too urgent for a successful man under the age of 30 to lock himself into the cage of marriage so early and have a child. up!

Xiao Fang said in embarrassment, "What's wrong with being a father? My baby is my little padded jacket. You two bachelors don't know what family happiness is. Forget it, I won't drink. Find a time to have dinner with the people in the company." Fan, Xiao Muzi, you are the focus of the company's future work, and everyone should revolve around you."

"Look at this contract." Datang handed over the same two draft contracts to Xiao Fang and He Mu. To put it bluntly, this was a contract between the two of them.

Xiao Fang took over the contract and looked at it. Party A: Tiger Wolf Film and Television Investment Company, address: where..., legal person: Xiao Fang.

He Mu also watched carefully, Party B: He Mu, ID number: xxxx, mailing address: where..., mailing number: xxxxxx.

According to the negotiation between the two parties, Party A and Party B have reached the following agreement on the signing agency matters: first, the rights and obligations of Party A.

100. Both parties cooperate based on the principle of mutual trust and common development. Party A is obliged to do its best to develop its creative and performance careers for Party B.

Gold [-] million yuan.

Party B He Mu saw this, and he almost shouted: "100 million!" That's so much money!

Xiao Fang joked: "What is 100 million yuan? If you really go to another company after five years, if the other party gives you less than 1000 million yuan for signing contracts, it will be Datang's dereliction of duty."

Datang was shot innocently and remained silent. Xiao Fang still accepted what he said. The signing bonus of a first-line star is usually tens of millions. Although 100 million is a bit too much for a newcomer like He Mu, as long as He Mu really If you succeed in the top position, it's just a few advertising dollars, it's really nothing.

Containing the surprise in his heart, He Mu continued to read...
